Reaction to the goal was a disgrace. The twat will never have it as good as he has it here and he's acting like he's too good to be playing against Preston. BELLEND.

Was it me, or did he fling his arm in frustration? May have been punching the air, but given how he completely blanked Monga... 

[Bezzanator89]

As far as Daka's post-goal body language goes, it doesnt look good when you compare it to Abdul Fatawu. The arm fling and morose expression can easily be interpreted as someone frustrated that Monga can score goals... 😂

He is literally useless in the system/s we play (and have done since he joined). I don't rate him but you might as well play the physio up top. 

We've played just about every kind of football in his time here and he's crap at all of them

It doesn't look great on the images but Daka is normally one to celebrate goals so maybe it's misleading. 

I think it's another example of where the squad is at, unable to do anything with smiles on their faces at the minute. 

Its not misleading in anyway, watch the game highlights again. 

 

He flings his arm up, never even looks at Monga once let alone celebrate with him. 

 

When Fatawu is celebrating  with Monga and sprinting back to the half way line, Daka is still walking in the penalty area. 

 

He has some weird macabre expression on his face. 

 

With the exception of Fatawu the whole teams reaction to Monga's first senior goal and the urgency to restart the game was a disgrace and speaks volumes to the team spirit and commitment in this squad.

I don't know mate and I'm not ruining my day by watching it again  

[suffolk fox]

Hate to say it but this bloke is a fraud.  We have had some woeful footballers, play for our club but this bloke considering the cost, has to be the worse.

He is woeful.  Falls over his own legs, makes wrong decisions all the time, easily gets muscled off the ball.  

 

I would love to say get rid but no one wants him, or would buy him.

 

Another, we are stuck with until his contract expires.

12m for McAteer is over 3yrs
4m a year

That will cover Daka's wages for this year, someone who has cost us £43m over the 5 years been here

A purchase that makes Akinbyi's look like Vardy in comparison. A disaster 

pound for pound the worst ever signing for Leicester also considering he’s leaving on a free too at 27

[lcfc sheff]

Send him to Wrexham for £15m!!

[Blue-fox]

We look a lot better with him up front rather than Ayew.

Ayew can't play that role as we have seen in every match so far, Daka was much more lively.. I think Ayew is good to have in the team though esp atm just play him deeper like we did second half

[Guest]

We not doing a deep dive into his reaction to the goal this time then?

Ayew shouldn’t play up top but I am not convinced page is ready either to play 10!

Page has potential but he needs to bulk up

We do look better with him because he stretches the pitch and creates more space for the 10 to play in. 

 

Ayew has benefited from this, but we've only seen Page play behind Ayew who drops deep, compresses the game and denies any space for Page to play. 

 

Look at the difference in heat maps. 

[Jobyfox]

We look a better team when he’s in it. Not because he’s any good, but because the alternative is Jordan Ayew 

[STUHILL]

He really is terrible, but should get a sticker for effort. 

 

Sign a striker FFS. 

[Silverfox14]

Thought he did ok when he came on

[em9999]

Would make a brillant worker for argos he gives 100% and is very quick he could pick those orders super quick 

 

As a striker through 

 

It's a no from me

Practicing for the 100m maybe. I don’t think he even knows he’s playing football.

[brookfox]

Not sure what happened but he’d clearly riled a few of their players.

Yeh once he puts muscle on his shoulders his legs will improve his ball play. Clueless.

[Mike Oxlong]

Made me chuckle when he took the ball on his chest in the penalty box and it nearly went out for a throw 

[MrSpaM]

Is he even a footballer?

[Lambert09]

Why did the ref hate him so much tonight? Every call went against him 

[sdb]

Thought he added real energy tonight, and clearly stretched Birmingham more than they were comfortable with. Never fancy him to score but anyone giving him (or Ayew) pelters tonight is just stuck in their own little echo chamber
